INFINI and Sabre Announce Renewed Partnership Agreement

INFINI TRAVEL INFORMATION, Inc. started using Sabre Corporation’s Global Distribution System (GDS) as a host system in the year 2000. Since then, both companies have significantly invested in innovation, jointly developed products, and deployed their services across Japan.

To continue to meet the needs of customers, and address the rapidly changing travel environment, Sabre and INFINI today announce that we will deepen our longstanding business partnership, under which INFINI will act as the general sales agent for Sabre in Japan, including its related services and solutions.

Maintaining the existing INFINI GDS brand in service, INFINI will now also provide Japan’s travel industry with Sabre’s leading technology solutions. Under this agreement, and in addition to the services that it currently provides to its customers, INFINI will enable the deployment of Sabre’s airline connectivity, seat reservation and ticketing functionalities for Japanese customers.

Moreover, Japanese travel agents who are considering to partner with companies located overseas, can expect to see significant progress. The upgrades which will be generated through this renewed agreement with Sabre will make it convenient to develop business overseas, and to introduce global-level solutions to optimize their operations.

Most importantly (*1), INFINI will be able to provide Sabre branded products and services in addition to current INFINI branded products and services, reaffirming that together, INFINI & Sabre are a one-stop shop for Japanese travel companies through this enhanced partnership.

Once our proposal meets the customer's requests and needs, the user contract will be concluded. Note that INFINI customer support will be available throughout the preparation, development, and implementation process. INFINI will continue to be our customer’s partner.
